Cabot Cove

Dancing corpses. Dead dachshunds. Taciturn teddy bears. Road trips to nowhere. These are just a few of the whimsical premises that make up Cabot Cove, the debut EP by award-winning singer-songwriter Joel B. New. Half a dozen provocative tunes loosely inspired by everyone’s favorite murder mystery writer and her fictional hometown of Cabot Cove, Maine — as can only be shown through the lens of New’s waggish lyrics and particular hybrid of piano rock, jazz, pop, cabaret, and art song.
